Summary answer: The data shows real variance here — one Redfin measure showed the median up 16.0% year-over-year in mid-2025, while the city's own most recent 12-month data shows the median sold price essentially unchanged year-over-year.

Why different sources tell such different stories
| Measure | Reading |
|---|---|
| Redfin (one measure) | +16.0% YoY |
| Latest 12-month citywide data | 0.0% YoY (flat) |
What this genuinely suggests
With such variance across measurement periods, checking true, recent comparables for your specific property type is far more reliable than relying on either headline number alone.
